The Aperture took over in 2002 after the Northpoint Cinemas closed. For years the Northpoint 5 was to place to go see first-run exclusive features as well as arthouse, independent films along with documentaries, foreign and Oscar winning presentations. It also had the opportunity to screen second-run films and once in a blue moon reissue standard Hollywood classics(ranging from “Gone With The Wind”, to “Casablanca” and “Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo”). It was Winston-Salem’s only arthouse theater from 1987 until it closed in 2002.

This theater did not opened in 1988. However I found the ads for this cinema and it opened on September 28, 1990 as the Litchfield Cinema 7(aka Sedgefield Crossing Cinema 7) under Litchfield Theatres. Regal took over in 1994 and it was called the Regal Cinema 7 until Regal ceased operations in 2001. It reopened under an independent chain(Kleesburg Theatres)as a second-run discount cinema in 2002.

Nighthawk 1 and Scott Neff:
I have found the original newspaper ad for the Brassfield Cinema’s grand opening. This theater has been opened since October 6, 1989 and it was under Premiere Theatres. Cinemark took over the operations of the Brassfield 10 in mid-November of 1989 less than a month after it opened. This theater is still in operation. I have the ads if you need to see them and I will be happy to give them to you at

Drive-In 54, Kris4077, and jrwoman 10:
The ONLY outdoor drive-in still in operation in the Triangle is in Henderson at the Raleigh Road Drive-In.
Sad but true if you want to drive that far to see a movie at bargain prices.

And the sadder part is that section of North Durham is a wasteland. Nothing.

Theater was demolished in 2002 to make way for the expansion project of the Four Seasons Mall. In 2007, a newer, flashier, state of the art 18-screen stadium seating megaplex opened off High Point Road just a mile from the Four Seasons Mall near Interstate 40.
